Janosky:So this is the reason your leadership conveniently rewrote and reinterpreted John 1:1. I feel genuinely sorry for all jehovah's witnesses. They are lost, and only a few of them eventually find the truth of Jesus Christ. |

broswilli:Jehovah's Witnesses have never claimed to be inspired prophets. Jehovah's Witnesses in the past never invented a new prophecy because we believe the gift of prophecy was done away with in the first century C.E. (See 1Corinthians 13:8 ) The Bible which we hold dearly is what guides us on what we believe since it is inspired of God (2Timothy 3:16) Since JW's were not the ones who wrote the Bible, they have been trying to understand the prophecies that are already in the Bible and not making up a new one. In light of Matthew 24 and Luke 21, those scriptures depict signs that would tell us when the last days would begin. And based on Bible chronology and world events, it all pointed to the last days beginning in the year 1914. That year cannot be mistaken or gotten wrong because it aligns just right with Bible prophecy. Furthermore since they believe that the gift of prophecy no longer holds today, we believe it is only God who can interpret prophecies in the Bible. So with God's assistance of holy spirit, the understanding of certain scriptures do come to light after those prophecies have been fulfilled. Even in the Bible, the disciples of Jesus who saw him face-to-face did not fully grasp all that he had been teaching them. They even thought that the Kingdom of God would come instantly when Jesus was on earth but they were mistaken because they didn't have full understanding (Luke 19:11) Again, after Jesus was resurrected, he appeared to two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus but they did not recognize Jesus so he inquired of them what had happened lately and they related those things with him — they thought that Jesus would deliver Israel out of the hands of the Romans then, so Jesus had to explain everything from the very beginning from the books of Moses to the books of the Prophets so they could get the full understanding. (Luke 24:13-27) The only work Jehovah's Witnesses have been tasked with is to proclaim the good news of God's Kingdom to all the nations (Matthew 24:14, 28:19,20) and because Jesus himself confirms it as the only message that true Christians should preach in today's world. (Luke 16:16)

Janosky:OyA hear am. Galatians 6 vs 10, As we therefore have opportunity, let do good to all man, especially those in the house hold of faith. Deduce:: be good to all man, man of all religions, tribes, what u read there is to be good to either JW, or catholic, or Pentecostal. House hold of faith. wat is the faith all about John 3 vs 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. the faith here is some one that believe in Jesus, Christian believe is this verse and is a common stand for all Christians believe and faith. so why not being good to ur fellow Christians brother. all though I don't blame you, simply, most of u guys read from the lens of discreet and faithful slave of the watch tower. John 13 vs 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. love one another in the same faith in Christ Jesus, according to John 3 verse 16. |

broswilli:Continue deceiving yourself eyah ![]() Have you asked yourself why the ARC hasn't made the reporting of such cases mandatory? Despite pleas of a member of JW Governing Body? If the law specifically says that reporting of cases are mandatory then JW's would follow up those laws to the end because they are in subjection to the government authorities (Romans 13:1) But in many cases, the victim (if an adult) chooses not to report to the authorities and that's the person's decision. NO ONE tries to influence the decision made by the person. In essence, parents are responsible for their children not the elders. The elders in the congregation aren't the ‘law’ that you people think it's their job to report to the authorities. The elders are only assigned with the task of discerning the spiritual cleanliness of the congregation. They offer Scriptural counsel/comfort for the victim (2Corinthians 1:3,4) and also disfellowship the offender if found guilty (1Corinthians 5:11) If the parents of the victim wants to report a case to the authorities they are free to do so and no one will try to hinder or stop them. Also, they do not cover up crimes of offenders —contrary to what you believe in or what you want to make others believe. The truth is that Jehovah's Witnesses have the most protective child sex abuse policy out of all religions. JW's believe that children are an inheritance and a gift from Jehovah so parents do their very best to try and take care of that special gift (Psalm 127:3) Don’t believe hearsay and rumour; see for yourself.

broswilli:The BOLDED up there are FALSE Claims you have made to twist the fact. Bros HYPOCRISY how many child rapists and molesters in your so called body of Christ have you reported to the Authorities and those culprits were punished? Pentecostal Church choirs are harems of sexual debauchery, how many unborn child murderers in your midst have you censure or reported to the law enforcement officers? Jesus said in John 11:26" anyone who believes in me will NEVER die at all", Bros this is year2020,your Church members no dey die ? Did Jesus make a false prophecy? |
| Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Not Marry Other ' Christians '? by broswilli: 12:58pm On Jul 26, 2020 |
DappaD:Then your leaders are misrepresenting Jesus and his words with false interpretation of scriptures. 1914 is false doctrine. Jesus did not leave any clue to his followers when his arrival would come. Missapplication of the scriptures has led to dire consequences as seen in the child abuse cases. Now if they don't claim to be prophets why do they ask parents not to pick the call of a child that has left the organization. Only a Prophet can have that kind of authority over a follower. Sorry i am not going to post a video on parents instructed not to pick the call of their children because your organization is sending spies all over the internet trying to delete videos and books they created so new members cannot track their fallacies. |

Sirjendon:Brother this your misconception about JWs no be true atall, well, you dey honest as you reason am, me myself be like you one time, believing "them say"... Abeg, go check the dealings of JWs with racism and tribalism, you go see say we no dey show partial. Like I dey now, if I find myself for any state or country, other brothers and sisters in the organization no go hesitate to provide me accommodation and shelter with even the best hospitality, even though I just join the organization last year November. Me self no go hesitate to render help to my spiritual brother even if we never meet before. We no recognize white or black, we no even recognize who get money or who no get, that's why you no fit see a homeless JW on the street, because other brothers are ready to help-am... Na one of waytin Jehovah holy spirit dey give be that, as Jesus talk: if truly you're my disciples, you will have love among yourself. I remember far back wey I never join Jehovah's organization, e get some churches wey I dey follow colleagues go. For you wey appear not too rich, they go just dey look you like one kin shit, but for those rich kids, everyone go just dey pretend like say them genuinely like them... This na the nonsense wey you no go see among JWs. The first time I go their convention of over 4k people for Ota, Ogun state, that day clear my doubt... Me and my other niggas way visit there together for the first time see the preview of how paradise on earth go be... Everyone was so equal to an extent we start to dey go different family way we never meet before go dey chop their food... Can such acts be display by the churches in christaindom? |

rottennaija:You sound like an EX-JW. I am one as well so you need not attack me for thinking you are one. I agree with some of the points you listed above but you did not answer the question. (Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Not Marry Other ' Christians '?) ANSWER: This is just to avoid conflict of religious interest in the marriage. Take for example, a JW (wife) who is married to a man from another christian denomination where celebration of Christmas is allowed. On Christmas days, the husband would expect the wife to prepare Christmas food, so to speak for him and whoever would be visiting him for the celebrations which would be totally against the believe of the wife. Na fight go end am last last. They marry within themselves to avoid situations like this and many more. |

Freiden:My simplest answer is, it's what they are told to believe that they believe. What you are saying above is an exception rather than the rule. In most cases, they are many in religiously divided household (not just the JWs) that these things occur and they are also many religiously divided household that live together without these issues. In these homes, they respect each others and their believes and don't allow it to be a problem among themselves. |

Janosky:I will gain nothing making false claims. I have nothing against JW members. But I am sure that your leadership are false prophets. The references made was not concocted by me. The Australian Royal Commission was not conducted by me, JW lawyers lying in that commission was not done by me. Your anger cannot change anything. A false prophet will eventually lead followers into a ditch. Americans and Canadians are ditching your organization because they have come to understand that the organization is man made and has no backing from God. 607 BCE is a false date and therefore 1914 is false even the theology behind it is false. |

chatinent:JWs insult Christianity of over 2000 years by thinking others are mere copies and theirs the original. Even their Bible shows that fact. Ask a JW what is the 3 things that makes us co believers and they begin stuttering cos they know where you're going and they dont want to agree as it will "contradict their teachings, belief" I have Jw friends over 2decades and i discovered they always do something once you challenging them to a fact finding journey.. They begin to avoid discussing with you bout Biblical matters. Some even begin to grow cold towards you, even if you were respectful, friendly and courteous in discussing with them. Smh. So those that have Jesus as Lord and Savior are now unbelievers cos they arent Jws? Laughable!!! |

broswilli:Oga are you lying or is Jesus lying? What did Jesus say are the signs of his presence in the last days? According to Matthew 24 and Luke 21? What you people think is that JW's are as confused as the rest of you are ![]() Meanwhile it is only the Jehovah's Witness group that has been able to make out the truth from the Bible regarding who Jehovah God is(Psalm 83:18, 146:6), who Jesus is(Matthew 16:16)what God's Kingdom is(Daniel 2:44, Matthew 6:9,10) and what it will do(Revelation 21:3,4) and other Bible truths. The only group that has said; “We will never pick weapons and not kill one another in war or under any other circumstance” (Isaiah 2:4, Matthew 26:52) The only group that all its members do not vote, campaign and hold political offices because we believe man's government can never do what God's Kingdom will do for us (Jeremiah 23:5,6 Micah 5:4) and also because God's Kingdom is not of man's origin (John 18:36) It is because of this stand that nearly 9million people have taken that the world hates them (John 15:19, 1Peter 4:4) All those ‘cult’ ‘brainwashed’ ‘zombies’ ‘extremists’ words that you like calling Jehovah's Witnesses is nothing but you people committing the unmistakable fallacy of Ad Hominem ![]() The Bible said that true Christians will be identified with mark of love between themselves (John 13:34,35) and oneness in thought (1Corinthians 1:10) — and who better than Jehovah's Witnesses! ![]() |

What about the beasts with different heads described in the same revelation ? Since the horses are real to Mumu like you, Then the dragons are real . Dumb man See how a single bible verse as Rev 21:3,4 turn you to a toddler grabbing straws " What ya say ? Let me remind you that the name "Human" was given to creatures of flesh and blood. That which doesn't exist in heaven |

The key here is JWS see someone that has studied there books for baptism as a BELIEVER while someone that is baptized and zealous for Christ work in other churches are SEEN as an UNBELIEVER. In reality it is what JWS beliefs and doctrine are that QUALIFY a BELIEVER from an UNBELIEVER not what the Scriptures say. JWS don't marry other Christian simply because of what its DOCTRINES DICTATED as rottennaija stated. |
